—'N. W. Patton returned Monday
from a trip to Pond Creek, where he
went as representative of the A. II.
T. A. at this place to a meeting
called for the purpose of forming a
county organization. Several lodges
in the county were represented and
what is to be known as the Grant
County Anti-Horse Thief Association
was organized with J. W. Whorton of
Bond Creek as president, N. W. Pat-
ton of Manchester as vice president,
II. F. Wilkins of Pond Creek as secre-
tary and D. F. Sholly of Hawley as
treasurer. The Association meets
four times a year at Medford, on the
first Saturday in January, April, July
and October, at 2 o’clock p. m. At
the first regular meeting on Saturday
of next week it is 1 loped that as many
members as can from the various
lodges in the county be present.
-The school bell rang at the usual
hour Monday morning. The teachers
were all on hand to open school, but
only about one-tliird of the scholars
arrived and Prof. Clark dismissed
them until next Monday morning.
While there has never been a case of
scarlet fever in town except in one
family, it appears that most parents
seemed to think that sufficient time
had not passed since the breaking out
of the disease to make it absolutely
safe to start their children back to
school, so they kept them at home.
The Journal thinks the school
should have started last Monday, but
it was useless to do so without the
regular attendance. All will certainly
have ample time to get over their
scare by next Monday.
—The editor of the Journal
acknowledges receipt of a special
invitation from the ’Frisco roailroad
to accept free transportation with a
special train to be run over their line
from Oklahoma City to the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis for the week of May
15 to 22, which lias been designated as
Bress Week, and for which occasion
arrangements have been made for the
entertainment of the newspaper men
of the world. The ’Frisco Press
Special will leave Oklahoma City at
10:15 a. m. on Saturday, May 14, and
arrive at St. Louis for breakfast early
Sunday morning. If all’s well we’ll
be there.
—Rumors have been afloat here for
weeks to the effect that another bank
is to be started at Manchester. We
have said nothing about it for the
reason that we have had no postive
assurance so far that such is a fact.
It is possible that some changes may
be made in the banking business at
Manchester, but we do not anticipate
the opening of a new banking house
in this town before the coming fall.
Between now and that time the
Journal may be able to give its
readers something definite concerning
the opening of a new bank at Man-
chester.
-Three families at Medford were
quarantined on account of scarlet
fever. They were the families of T.
E. and G. W. Adams and A. Castle-
man. The Medford Star reports the
deatli of one of T. E. Adams’ children,
Margaret, aged 3 years, and says
another is sick. The schools at Med-
ford were ordered closed for twm
weeks and church services were dis-
pensed with so that there will prob-
ably be no further spread of the
disease there.
—The fine rains of Wednesday night
and Thursday morning, following
that of last Saturday night, together
with the fine warm growing weather,
has given vegetation of all kinds a big
send-otr and ere we think about it
grass will afford excellent feed forstock
and wheat will be half knee high.
Our April showers and spring weather
appear to be about four weeks ahead
of time this year. Look out for one
of those “bumper” wheat crops next
harvest.
—W. M. McGibbon of Gibbon was
in town the other day and placed an
order with the Journal for printed
stationery and also made a yearly
advertising contract. He has erected
a new residence and a good sized
store room and is stocking up with a
line of hardware, implements and
machinery. He and Mr. Post will
make a strong team at Gibbon and
will capture a good trade if wide-
awake business methods count for
anything.
—A telegram was received here
Wednesday from C. E. Voorhees at
Hunnewell, Kansas, formerly Santa
Fe agent at this place, instructing
that a grave for a child two years old
be dug in his lot in the cemetery here
and that arrangements be made to
convey he and family to the cemetery
after the arrival of the 5:12 train on
Friday evening. March 25.
—The warmest friend the old town
of Cameron ever had has at last
thrown up the sponge by posting
notice that he is ready to sell his bus-
iness property there. Most of the
boys unloaded early, and we know of
only one who was worsted to any
great extent.
—F. W. Roach has located at Anth-
ony for the practice veterinary sur-
gery. He is a brother of Veterinary
G. J. Roach of Manchester.
